Simple-flow example from the Java EE7 tutorial remembers values of previous flow

Question

I'm just playing around with the simple-flow example from the Java EE7 tutorial and stumble on a problem.

Documentation: Java EE7 tutorial - Simple Flow

Example: tut-install/examples/web/jsf/simple-flow/

I'm puzzled, because the flow remembers the data in the FlowScope after the return page.

Example code from the manual:

src/main/webapp
    index.xhtml
    simple-flow-return.xhtml
    WEB_INF/
        web.xml
    simple-flow
        simple-flow-flow.xml
        simple-flow.xhtml
        simple-flow-page2.xhtml

Demo:

Enter flow
--> Value = test
--> Second Page - Value: test
--> Return
--> Value (should be empty): "" --> Correct!
--> Back to start
--> enter flow
--> Value: test (THIS VALUE IS REMEMBERED AND ALREADY FILLED IN!)

Why is this value remembered? I left to the return page and the value was empty, but now again remembered!

Has anybody the same problem with this example? (Tested on GlassFish and WildFly)

Is this definitely not a browser issue? Have you tried it once normal Chrome/FF, and then with your browser in private mode, or with a different browser altogether? — Mike, Feb 12 '15 at 22:39
This is tested on Chrome on different development machines. We made some progress: this does not happen if we use a Managed bean, but for this simple tutorial, this should work with FlowScope without a bean, and it doesn't. — Dimitri Dewaele, Feb 13 '15 at 10:19

We made some progress: Use the simple-flow example, from the tutorial, but with a Managed bean.
